H.R. 6126 – End the Normalized Delay of Suppressor Act of 2020

Finally, some good news – a light on the horizon in what seems to be an endless sea of anti-gun bills! Earlier this month, Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL-17) introduced H.R. 6126, a bill that would cap ATF transfer times on suppressors at 90 days. If not approved within the 90-day time frame, any application that has not been denied would, by default, be deemed approved.

For years, the American Suppressor Association and our industry partners have called for a maximum time limit on transfers, relaunching the eForm 4, and the general modernization of the NFA. While our goal remains the same – to remove suppressors from the onerous regulations of the NFA altogether – Rep. Steube’s bill would be a huge step forward in reducing the unacceptably long transfer times that buyers often face.

    Wow, that would be awesome. I just bought my ‘first’ last week (Obsidian 9). My FFL let me see it briefly. as I submitted fingerprints, etc. I said, “see you next year, beautiful”.
    Maybe only this summer?…..

    eForm1 is taking 60 days or less. Paper Form 1 takes much longer. Mouse over your State for average days.
